Sebastian Gießmann<p>Hello Mastodon, can anyone offer experiences in using AI tools for indexing an academic book? ChatGPT gives you some tagging assistance for a word document, but no full-scale automation. There seem to be some professional programs (not necessarily AI-based), too. Any thoughts? <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/followerpower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>followerpower</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/book" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>book</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/indexing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>indexing</span></a></p>
